We first plotted the data, using a line chart (Insert > Line Chart > Line Chart with Markers) – that results in the following graph: Same was true for the line at the end of the series – the value along the x-axis does not change for the line but it does for the y-axis – resulting in a vertical line. This will make sure that the line starts from the start of the series. The first important point was to note that the for the start and the end line, we need to have the same x-value for the coordinates as has the first point of the series. Let’s see how we can do this in Excel! – What we needed to do is to put a separate line at the start and the end of the actual data.

So we took up the task and worked out the solution. The question dragged our attention as it is not usual to mark the start and the end of the lines with markers – but to draw and entire line is a different thing. Under Alignment, enter the angle you desire in Text Direction.One of the Quora users recently asked a question regarding how to plot lines at the start and the end of a data series.In the Format Data Labels Pane, Click the third icon from the left.Highlight and Right-click the labels on your graph.You just need to follow the instructions that you did in the previous section. Now that you have the fundamental steps on how to rotate the labels on the x-axis, you can easily. Under the Alignment section, in “Text Direction”, enter the angle you want.Īdding rotation to your axis is an easy 4 step process.In the Format Axis pane, under “Axis Options”, click third icon from the left(Size and Properties).
